Extract text from WDT files
To convert your WDT file to another format, you need AutoCAD Electrical or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Configuration Mapping" file type, you need software like AutoCAD Electrical or a similar tool.
The .WDT extension is a classic example of a filename collision, utilized by three completely different industries for unrelated purposes. Most commonly, it serves as a Title Block Attribute Mapping file in AutoCAD Electrical. These files are essentially plain text configuration maps that tell the software how to link project descriptions (like LINE1) to specific attributes in a drawing's title block. Users often need to convert these to TXT or CSV to audit project standards without consuming an expensive AutoCAD license or to batch-edit mappings in Microsoft Excel.
Alternatively, in the gaming sector, a .WDT file is a World Definition Table used by World of Warcraft. It acts as a binary grid reference, telling the game engine which map tiles (stored as ADT files) to load for a specific zone. These are proprietary binary files that cannot be opened with standard editors. Modders and developers frequently look to convert these to OBJ or PNG using tools like WoW Model Viewer to view game assets in standard 3D software like Blender.
Finally, in engineering, it may be a waveform data log generated by Data Translation hardware or Digilent WaveForms software. These binary logs lock valuable experimental data inside a vendor-specific format, forcing users to convert to CSV or MAT (MATLAB) for actual analysis.
Convert.Guru analyzes your WDT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted PDF, PTS, GPX and FMF files.
If you want to convert WDT file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use AutoCAD Electrical or similar software from the "Configuration & Map Data" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to WDT, try AutoCAD Electrical or another comparable tool in the "Configuration & Map Data" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our WDT converter.
